Today we began class with a quiz on the Life of Herrick. Everyone who wasn't in class on Friday had to take make up the quiz that was on two poems by Ben Jonson, 'Though I am Young' and 'In the Person of Woman-kind. A SONG Apologetick.' If the people who made up Friday's quiz pulled up the class average to passing then the Life of Herrick quiz would not count. However, that didn't happen ahahahahahahahaha.
Anyways today we only covered the beginning of Delight in Disorder (by Herrick.) It resembles Ben Jonson's Clerimont's Song. Delight in Disorder is refering to something being beautiful, despite being unperfect. The first four lines of the poem are about a guy being distracted by how a girl is dressed.
Wantonness- wild
A lawn - a scarf
